Apple iPad Pro (2020) review: The definitive tablet
The 2020, 4th generation Apple iPad Pro is the best version of the best tablet, and in this review, we explain exactly why this powerhouse is worth buying.
iPad Mini review (2019)
Apple’s new iPad Mini has beastly performance, fluid iOS 12 software, and good battery life. It also looks like it came straight out of 2015, because the design hasn’t been changed. The market for small tablets has shrunk, so this is the best you can get if you’re eyeing a small tablet.
Apple iPad 10.2-inch (2019) review: iPadOS makes this a winner
Apple's latest update to its tablet lineup is the iPad, its entry-level slate that costs $330. What's new here over last year's iPad? There's a slightly larger 10.2-inch screen and support for the Smart Connector. But those changes aren't what makes this iPad a winner.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 review: Finally, a good Android 2-in-1
Samsung’s latest tablet is here, and it’s the Galaxy Tab S6. It’s the successor to the Galaxy Tab S4, with worthwhile upgrades like a superior chipset, an S Pen that’s stored magnetically, and a far better keyboard with a built-in trackpad. Is it worth spending $650 on an Android tablet?
Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e review
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e excels at what it was designed for — movies, games, browsing, and reading. The amazingly thin and light body is only a part of the appeal, as the stunning 10.5-inch AMOLED screen makes watching it a joy. This is what it’s like to live with.
Amazon Fire HD 8 review (2020): Cheap for a reason
The Amazon Fire HD 8 integrates with Amazon services and has Alexa built-in -- but with only mediocre performance and an under-par display, it's a tough sell.
Huawei MatePad Pro Review: In the iPad’s shadow
The Huawei MatePad Pro is sensibly sized, with a great screen and some convenient features like wireless charging, but it can't compete with the iPad on apps.
Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro Review: The best tablet becomes a laptop — almost
The Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro takes Apple's already superb tablet to the next level by adding a brilliant typing experience and capable trackpad to it.
Amazon Fire 7 (2019) Review
As the bargain basement model in Amazon’s Fire tablet range, the Fire 7 (2019) and the Fire 7 Kids Edition are amazingly cheap at just $50, but how has Amazon achieved such a low price? I took them for an extended test spin to learn what it can do and uncover the compromises lurking within.
Lenovo Yoga Smart Tab hands-on review
The Lenovo Yoga Smart Tab draws inspiration from the company’s previous Android slates, with its unique circular hinge. Harnessing the power of Google Assistant and dual JBL hi-fi speakers, it consolidates what we saw with the previous Alexa-enabled offering into one singular device.
Apple iPad (original model) review
We review the Apple iPad. Can it change the way we think about tablet computers?
Archos 32 Review
The middle child in Archos' Internet tablet lineup, the 32, promises a bargain price with great capabilities, but comes up severely lacking on sound quality. Read on for a full review.
Samsung Galaxy Tab Review
Review: Samsung's Android-powered Galaxy Tab comes on all four major U.S. networks and offers a 7-inch screen, 13-hour battery life and built-in camera.
Apple iPad 2 Review
We review the Apple iPad 2 which refines the formula set forth by the original with dual cameras, a faster processor and an even thinner profile.
BlackBerry PlayBook Review
Review: RIM’s long-awaited BlackBerry PlayBook delivers a best-in-class tablet browsing experience, but suffers from a number of rough edges including a missing email client and limited apps.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Review
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 comes as close as any Android tablet has to matching Apple’s iPad, and even does some things better.
Toshiba Thrive Review
The Toshiba Thrive abandons the quest for thinner and smaller to bulk up on utility features, making it one of the most versatile Android tablets available.
Acer Iconia Tab A100 Review
Review: The Acer A100 improves on many of the flaws of the A500, but suffers from a screen that can be hard to see and short battery life.
Lenovo IdeaPad K1 Review
Review: The IdeaPad K1, Lenovo's first Android Honeycomb tablet, does mostly everything well but offers nothing exceptional to set it apart from a crowded Android tablet market.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 Review
Review: The Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 comes closer than any other Android tablet to rivaling Apple’s iPad 2.
Amazon Kindle Fire Review
Review: The Amazon Kindle Fire strips out frivolous tablet features in favor of a low price, ease of use and outstanding content.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus Review
Review: The Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus offers a sleek Android experience in a portable form factor, though its small size can also get a little cramped.
Toshiba Excite 7.7 Review
Toshiba’s Excite 7.7 tablet delights with a compact size, plenty of power and a gorgeous AMOLED screen, but can’t compete on price.
Lenovo IdeaTab S2109 Review
Lenovo’s IdeaTab S2109 emulates the form factor of the iPad, but feels like a cheap imitation.
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Review
The S Pen is great and its processor is fast, but the Galaxy Note 10.1 fails to make its mark.
Amazon Kindle Fire HD 7 Review
Amazon’s new Kindle Fire HD has a great price, but doesn’t fix many of the original Fire’s problems.
Lenovo Ideatab S2110 Review
Lenovo's IdeaTab S2110 combines with a keyboard dock for greater productivity, but sluggish performance knocks the tablet down a peg or two.
ASUS Vivo Tab RT Review
The Asus Vivo Tab is one of the first devices to come out running Windows RT, the tablet version of Windows 8, but is it worth the $600 price tag?
Microsoft Surface with Windows RT Review
Microsoft builds a tablet so pleasant to use that, at times, we forgot about the current limitations of Windows RT. But is it worth the high asking price?
Apple iPad Mini Review
We examine the iPad mini, Apple’s first attempt at creating a smaller iPad to compete with the likes of the Kindle Fire and Nexus 7. Does it have the chops to justify its higher price, though?
Google Nexus 10 Review
The Nexus 10 is Google’s attempt to refine and fix the 10.1-inch Android tablet, but is it worth the $400 price tag?
Acer Iconia Tab W700 Review
Acer’s new Iconia W700 is a powerful Windows 8 tablet that can transform into a miniature all-in-one computer. Is this the product that puts the PC back in “post-PC era,” or is it a patchwork of ideas that don’t quite fit together? Actually, it’s both.
Barnes & Noble Nook HD Review
Barnes & Noble's Nook HD is a contender on many levels. It's not the tablet for everyone, but for people who devour books, magazines, catalogs, and more, it's a better choice than it's nearest competition.
Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2 Review
Lenovo’s back with its second iteration of its ThinkPad tablet. Ditching Android for Windows 8, is this tablet able to contend with Microsoft’s Surface Pro, Apple’s iPad, or Google’s Nexus 10?
